May the friendships you make

Leprechaun — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:16:23 +0000

May the friendships you make
Be those which endure
And all of your gray clouds
Be small ones for sure
And trusting in Him
To Whom we all pray

And never close His fist too tight.

May the blessing of God’s soft rain be on you

Leprechaun — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 08:49:15 +0000

May the blessing of God’s soft rain be on you,
Falling gently on your head, refreshing your soul
With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you,
Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean
Sparkling after in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God’s earth be on you,
And as you walk the roads,
May you always have a kind word
for those you meet.

May the road rise up to meet you

Leprechaun — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 09:39:17 +0000

May the road rise up to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

The race of men named the Gael

Leprechaun — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:10:50 +0000

The race of men named the Gael,
Is a race God surely made mad.
For all of their wars are merry
And all of their loves are sad.

The curse of Mary Malone

May the curse of Mary Malone and her nine blind illegitimate children chase you so far over the hills of Damnation that the Lord Himself can’t find you with a telescope!

May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland’s faith and pride.

May love and faith abide.

A world of wishes

Leprechaun — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 09:31:06 +0000

May you have:
A world of wishes at your command
God and his angels close at hand
Friends and family their love impart,
And Irish blessings in you heart.

May God give you

Leprechaun — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:37:40 +0000

May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
